Sweet! 
Neat!
What does it weigh?
What engine is that?
It looks like a 2300 Ford Lima 4 banger to me. Cool footage!

It is an .060" over bored and stroked 2300 Ford with a custom ground large bearing crank. Displacement is close to 2.5L and with the ported head, flowed intake and carb the power is pretty amazing. These guys run laps times within .1-.2 seconds of the V8 modifieds. John's car has a minimum weight of 1970 which is based on a formula for displacement plus weight hits for things like the quick change rear end, upgraded front brakes, high compression motor, etc.
I didn't put a timer on the race but the last green/white/checker like this one lasted less than 6.5 minutes for 25 laps. They cars really carry a lot of momentum in the turns. They barely use brakes and mostly just lift to set the car in the turn.
